NASA: Centers: Jet Propulsion Laboratory

A high resolution imaging instrument that is flying on the Terra satellite. Obtains detailed maps of land surface temperature, emissivity, reflectance and elevation of the Earth.

This web site is primarily a data-organization and communications tool that supports ongoing research by JPL scientists and our colleagues.

NASA's worldwide antenna network to support the exploration of the solar system.

Managed for NASA by the California Institute of Technology, JPL is the leading U.S. center for robotic exploration of the solar system.

NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab Digital Image Animation Laboratory is an advanced computer animation, and software engineering facility with broadcast quality video recording and editing capabilities. The DIAL was created and is continually developed by the Visualization and Earth Science Applications group.

Provides detailed information related to known bodies in orbit around the sun. Ephemerides, physical parameters, Earth close-approaches, observer tools, etc.

Provides access to key solar system data and flexible production of highly accurate ephemerides for solar system objects (163000+ asteroids and comets, 128 natural satellites, 9 planets, the Sun, L1, L2, select spacecraft, and system barycenters).

Latest news, press releases, and photos from Spirit and Opportunity.

The primary objective is to support the ASTER and MODIS instrument teams in the areas of algorithm development, calibration and validation.

Seeks to answer the fundamental questions about the Universe: Are we alone in the Universe? How did we get here? What is the origin of the Universe? Is there another Earth-like planet in our celestial neighborhood?
